U.S. House of Representatives
Remarks as prepared:
The price of gas has been rising for the last 14 months. Yes, we’re experiencing some added pressures thanks to Putin’s evil attack on Ukraine, but our energy problems go much farther back than that.
They started on January 20, 2021 when President Biden left the inauguration and immediately signed multiple executive orders handcuffing domestic oil production. He proudly told supporters on the campaign trail that his goal was to end fossil fuels entirely!
Now, he’s saying that his Administration and his rhetoric have had no impact on the energy crisis. I call BS. He’s intentionally destroying traditional energy while begging the world’s worst autocrats to make up for it.
We cannot rely on foreign dictators for our oil. An energy dominant US helps not only our people, but our allies around the world.
I yield back.
